The National Trust was formed in 1896 by Canon Hardwicke Rawnsley, Vicar of
Crosthwaite, Keswick, Miss Octavia Hill and Sir Robert Hunter.
It is now responsible for the conservation and management of about one quarter
of the Lake District National Park. The total of about 50,000 HA in turn is
about a quarter of the Trust's entire holding in England and Wales
They control 90 farms, almost all the central fells area, the major valley heads, six of the main lakes and much of their shorelines.
